Almost, Maine by John Cariani. Feiwel and Friends, Macmillan, 2020. Fiction, Young Adult and up.
Almost is a small town. It's so far north that it's almost in Canada. Its people are like people you will recognize. They live, work, fall in love, and have complicated lives that intersect with each other's. On one particular Friday night in the heard of winter when the Northern Lights shine their brightness over all, things get really strange. People fall in love. They fall out of love. They find new love. They find unexpected love. The whole book is based on a play by the author.
Honestly, this is the perfect book to read in the midst of a pandemic. Things happen. People react. It's easy to get lost in the sweetness and quirkiness of these characters. Certainly it makes readers think and gives a short vacation from current events!
